Amazing results man... I'm about to discuss my results with the doctor so they can send me to undergo surgery. I too want the ravitch procedure because its the only way the condition wont come back. Hopefully my insurance will cover me. :c
-
I am trying to get approved for surgery would you say there is a noticeable change in breathing?
-
Looks great now! I'm having surgery in a few months and I'm impressed with the speed of your recovery. Hope you're happy with the results, you seem like a thoroughly decent young man!

Ive heard that ravitch is much more painful, but it didnt seem too bad watching your videos, I mean it looks real painful but manageable too, thanks for your videos I'm now thinking about having the ravitch done, hope your well
-
did your intake of oxygen dramatically increase? also how painful was the procedure?
-
Outstanding video and you look awesome!!!! I had mine done around 5th grade, I'm 34 now, and it took me until last summer (when I was 33) to not be self conscious of my scar.
Its AWESOME that you're breathing better!!!!!!

He goes to the gym lol
I have this :c and because of it I have become really insecure. I play sports such as cross country , track , and soccer. Sometimes my heart starts beating irregurlaly fast and I get light headed a lot , I also run out of breath a lot. I hate it :/

@iWhisperr I got light headed all the time and i always ran out of breath earlier than others at swim team practice, i dont get light headed anymore and my stamina and endurance have increased 5 fold

Glad it's worked out well for you. Why did you choose the Ravitch over the Nuss? (Sorry if you've answered this elsewhere.)

@gratiaDei777 my sternum was sunken off level and ravitch allows a more sculptured approach to the repair

great change man! Was the operation for cosmetic benefit only or did the PE cause you any health probs?
